Even a draw would be enough considering Chelsea and Arsenal play each other next. We need to keep our unbeaten run going for the next 5 games to make up some lost ground.
Im sure Spurs players will be glad to see Jones back after his wonderful finish for them in the reverse fixture.Hopefully Smalling doesn't make it back for this game. Do people still fail to see the issue? Smalling cannot play with the ball at his feet. If we play Smalling we are forfeiting possession from the get go. It is like playing with 10 men. He never makes himself available and spreads nervousness. This is just a fact. He is our best defender. Fact. But he isnt good enough on the ball to be in our starting 11 and should be moved on. We wont get anywhere trying to play out against Spurs press using Smalling.
Do you not remember Jones's calamitous performance the last time we played spurs? He was directly responsible for both goals (including an OG).Hopefully Smalling doesn't make it back for this game.

That Spurs long ball after a few minutes played that Jones timed totally wrong, I cringed while watching it.Do you not remember Jones's calamitous performance the last time we played spurs? He was directly responsible for both goals (including an OG).
You can almost guarantee Jones will feck up against Spurs attack. He got away with a lot against Reading in the FA cupThat Spurs long ball after a few minutes played that Jones timed totally wrong, I cringed while watching it.
Actually, the Arsenal result gives us a little breathing room. Even if we lose, we're still only three points behind them with a very difficult game out of the way.Arsenal result makes this very close to a must win.
Team picks itself if that’s the squad.
Tbh, Arsenal are irrelevant, and must be removed from our vision. We are not chasing Arsenal, we are chasing Chelsea.Actually, the Arsenal result gives us a little breathing room. Even if we lose, we're still only three points behind them with a very difficult game out of the way.
Keep going, I'm almost there.Going for us to win it 1-4. They'll start the match in dominating fashion, score a goal which we''ll react to and equalise, then the tide of the match will turn and we''l put in a dominating performance that will send shockwaves to the rest of the league.
There are people who have been born/bred in England and can't speak or write English properly.English must be a bitch to learn.
That was the old Jose-style of play (ie. we only start playing when we are losing).Going for us to win it 1-4.

I'm still worried that Ole will start playing Lukaku (as a starter), with Rashford off the bench. The huge price which was paid for Lukaku won't be ignored and will be taken into consideration during team selections.After only five games, I believe Ole already knows his best starting XI. Not necessarily in terms of ability, but balance, which is key to winning games.
Think the team will be:
De Gea
Young Lindelof Jones Shaw
Herrera Matic
Lingard Pogba
Rashford Martial
Romero Darmian Valencia Fellaini Fred Sanchez Lukaku
Our 2nd will be a multi-passing team goal that will put the recent Martial one to shame. He won't feel to bad though as he'll score it. The third will be a Rashford Bicycle kick.Keep going, I'm almost there.
It's also the old United way as well, you score one, we'll score 4.That was the old Jose-style of play (ie. we only start playing when we are losing).
Under Ole, I don't think that has happened.
It won’t. If you’ve actually been paying attention since he came in you’d see that he absolutely loves Rashford and bigs him up at every opportunity.I'm still worried that Ole will start playing Lukaku (as a starter), with Rashford off the bench.

You're aware at how bad our defence has been really, right? Even Reading cut through us multiple times. We don't need both defenders to bring the ball out.Hopefully Smalling doesn't make it back for this game. Do people still fail to see the issue? Smalling cannot play with the ball at his feet.

Aren't we chasing both?Tbh, Arsenal are irrelevant, and must be removed from our vision. We are not chasing Arsenal, we are chasing Chelsea.
No we are chasing 4th. It’s Chelsea we are challenging.Aren't we chasing both?
Understand we are chasing 4th but as I am sure you know, both Arsenal and Chelsea are still above us.No we are chasing 4th. It’s Chelsea we are challenging.
Ole loves Rashford. If Lukaku is to start, we'll probably see Martial on the bench.I'm still worried that Ole will start playing Lukaku (as a starter), with Rashford off the bench. The huge price which was paid for Lukaku won't be ignored and will be taken into consideration during team selections.

Nah, not really. Ourselves and Arsenal are both chasing Chelsea. If Arsenal were to move ahead of Chelsea, then we can worry about them, but all we need to concern ourselves with is how far or near we are from 4th place. 5th doesn’t matter. If we kept gaining on Arsenal (due to them being shit), but drifting from Chelsea, because they are picking up more points than us - we’ve done nothing.Aren't we chasing both?
Exactly, but that's why I put most of those in my postThere are people who have been born/bred in England and can't speak or write English properly.
And these people do not like it when their mistake is corrected. Rather than learning from the person who has taken the time to correct them, they get defensive, but refuse to learn from their mistake.
Some common mistakes are lose/loose, your/you're, were/where, their/there/they're.
I shall tell you all this: there is nothing wrong with making errors and mistakes. There is however, everything wrong with making the same mistake, repeatedly and refusing to learn from it.
How do people expect to improve their overall knowledge-base, if they refuse to learn from their own mistakes?
Surprised at that. iMo eriksen is their best playerKane, Ali, Son... and to a slightly lesser extent Erikksen.. these guys are quality, influential, clinical. However, the Spurs midfield, I think we can dominate, IF the three play well, and give them something to think about. Rashford, I simply look forward to, because his attitude and approach is infectious, and he makes things happen. He keeps going, trying, and I love that. It is whoever play alongside him, that's where I feel (and fear a bit...) that the differences in the sides may be highlighted.
Manner100% manor of the performance for me....
